IMPORTANT: Retrieving and utilizing Diagnostic Trouble
Codes (DTC's) for troubleshooting vehicle operation problems is
only one part of an overall diagnostic strategy. Never replace
a part based only on the Diagnostic Trouble Code Definition.
Always consult the vehicle's service manual for more detailed
testing instructions. Each DTC has a set of testing procedures,
instructions and flow charts that must be followed to confirm
the exact location of the problem. This type of information is
found in the vehicle's service manual.
